6 MAC_OS Compiling for some version of Mac OS?
7 MAC_OS8 Compiling for Mac OS version 8. Requires MAC_OS?
8 MAC_OSX Compiling for Mac OS X? Is that also valid for Darwin?

10 CYGWIN Compiling the Cygwin port.
12 MSDOS Compiling the MS-DOS port.
14 __DJGPP__ Major version number of the DJGPP library for the DOS port.
15 __DJGPP_MINOR__ Minor version number of the DJGPP library.
16 __GO32__ Compiling the DOS port with DJGPP v1.x (obsolete).
17 DOS_NT Compiling for either the MS-DOS or native MS-Windows port.
18 WINDOWSNT Compiling the native MS-Windows (W32) port.
